2 Nurturing Vicarious Resilience to Counteract the Challenges of IPV Work in Social Workers Lives Rina Arseneault, C.M., MSW, RSW, Associate Director, Muriel McQueen Fergusson Centre for Family Violence Research Sue McKenzie-Mohr, PhD, Associate Professor, School of Social Work, St. Thomas University
3 Why do you do the job you do? How is it meaningful for you? Are there ways in which you feel that you benefit in relation to your work with those who are in significant distress?
4 Learning Objectives To consider Common Effects of our Work with those Experiencing Violence and its Effects in their Lives To explore Strategies to Strengthen and Support our Well-Being alongside our Commitment to this Work, including Personal Strategies Strategies amongst Colleagues Institutional Strategies
5 How do we name it? Compassion fatigue Vicarious traumatization Secondary traumatization Secondary stress disorder Insidious trauma and Vicarious trauma
6 The impact of IPV on social workers Impact of our work choice influence on all other facets of our life. Choosing to work in the field of intimate partner violence will change you Effects of listening, reading, writing the stories of the clients victims/survivors, children, abusers - will create a subtle or marked change in your personal, political, spiritual and professional outlook.
7 The impact of IPV on social workers Whether shaping social policy or providing services to individuals, families, and communities, social workers are fully engaged with a huge social problem. Social workers who are responding to the often devastating effects of intimate partner violence act as witnesses to many stories of abuse every day. Working in this field deeply impacts lives just as your work do impacts the lives of others.
8 Primary & Secondary Trauma Primary trauma: trauma experienced directly by person Secondary trauma: others who are within the trauma victim surrounding: caregivers, close circle of family or friends. Secondary trauma: stories of the victims, witnesses and suspects that are frequently traumatic, violent, brutal, and tragic. Social workers as caregivers: re-exposed to the same traumatic material being first responder or listener, and then having to relive this stories over and over again as the victim s heal.
9 Burnout vs Vicarious Trauma (VT) Burnout Vicarious Trauma Related to the work environment Related to the work environment Work with difficult population Work with traumatized population Workload & institutional stress are the precipitating factor Exposure to traumatic material is the precipitating factor
10 Common Ties Commonalities between a victim s experience of IPV and experiences of social workers. Victims of IPV experience traumatic and terrifying events Social workers respond to these events and fears for victim s life Social workers can understand victims lives because they hear about violence in the lives of their clients on a regular basis.
11 Common Ties Danger: Both know the violence is inevitable; Verbal Abuse: Both the victim and social worker are subjected, often on a regular basis, to derogatory remarks, verbal harassment, and abuse. Psychological Abuse/Emotional Turmoil: Abusers may try to manipulate victims - Victims and social workers may fear the reoccurrence of a violent incident, such as a shooting/injury/death. Depression: Many victims of violence and social workers endure the chronic psychic pain of depression and traumatic stress. Isolation: Abuse victims often cannot afford to leave their abusers. Social workers often are caught in the paradigm of wanting to implement changes and the slow process of change
12 Effects of Vicarious Trauma Effects on the individual; Effects on the workplace; Effects on the organization or employer; Effects on the family and community.

14 The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through water without getting wet. (Mathieu, F., 2011, p. 6)
15 Those who work with the suffering suffer themselves because of the work. (Figley, Treating Compassion Fatigue, 1997) It is an ethical imperative. We have an obligation to our clients - as well as to ourselves, our colleagues, and our loved ones - not to be damaged by the work we do. (Saakvitne & Pearlman, Transforming the Pain, 1996)
16 Compassion: Suffering With Becoming intimate with pain is the key to changing at the core of our being - staying open to everything we experience, letting the sharpness of difficult times pierce us to the heart, letting these times open us, and make us wiser and more brave. (Chodron, 2007, p.71)
17 Working with your Stress Response Chasing meaning is better for your health than avoiding discomfort. (Kelly McGonigal, 2013, TEDGlobal)
18 Stress Resilience Compassion Satisfaction Vicarious Resilience
19 Vicarious Resilience Focuses on workers interpretations of their clients' traumatic or distressing stories, and how workers make sense of the impact that these stories have had on their lives. It involves: Developing skills to Reframe and Cope with Difficult/Painful aspects of our Work; and Attending to what we find Rewarding and Inspiring in our Work, and Lessons we have Gained.
20 Cultivating Vicarious Resilience (Hernandez, Gangsei, & Engstrom, 2007) Normalize own reactions Recognize balancing aspects of this work (inspiring & draining) Reflect on person s capacity to heal Develop hope & commitment to their work Create helpful meaning & challenge negative beliefs Consider lessons learned from clients & trauma work Reassess significance of problems Acknowledge gifts received from work
21 Contributing Factors to Social Workers Distress Personal History; Coping Style; Nature of Work/Caseloads; Cumulative Exposure; Organizational Context; Social Context/Support; Supervision/Perceive Self as Inadequately Trained (Bober & Regehr, 2006; Jenkins & Baird, 2002; Ortlepp & Friedman, 2002; Pearlman & MacIan, 1995; Pearlman & Saakvitne, 1995; Schauben & Frazier, 1995)
22 Common Issues in our Work Environments Exposed to Traumatic or Distressing Stories, AND Budget Cuts Increasing Workloads More Paper Work/Record Keeping Limited or Diminishing Referral Sources Regularly face Moral/Ethical Dilemmas Work within System with Significant Flaws Limited Options/Support for Professional Development Work with Cynical or Burned Out Colleagues Limited or Inadequate Clinical Supervision
23 (W)hen addressing the distress of colleagues, we have focused on the use of individual coping strategies, implying that those who feel traumatized may not be balancing life and work adequately and may not be making effective use of leisure, selfcare, or supervision......(and yet), since the primary predictor of trauma scores is hours per week spent working with traumatized people, the solution seems more structural than individual. (It is perhaps time that efforts) shift from education to advocacy for improved and safer working conditions. Bober & Regehr, 2006, p.8
24 Prevent or Alleviate Vicarious Trauma Care that can be implemented on personal level: 1. Care for own needs: sleep, nutrition, health, and exercise 2. Physical & psychological distance by: vacation, balance between professional and personal 3. Processing the emotions & reactions after bearing witness to trauma survivor: discuss with colleagues or consultation with counsellor, etc (be careful of sharing with family and friends)
25 Standards of Self Care Ethical Principles of Self Care in Practice Standards of Humane Practice of Self Care Standards of Appreciation and Compensation Standards for Establishing and Maintaining Wellness
26 Standards of Self Care Strategies for letting go of work Frequent contact with nature or other calming stimuli Effective methods of creative expression Learn effective skills
27 Standards of Self Care Meditation or spiritual practice Effective methods of self assessment and self-awareness Social/interpersonal Prevention Plan
28 Standards of Self Care Balance between work and home Boundaries/ limit setting Time boundaries/overworking Therapeutic/professional boundaries Personal boundaries Dealing with multiple roles Realism Getting support/help at Work Peer support Supervision/consultation/therapy Role models/mentors
29 The other side of the Coin Why we need to take care of self What happens when: Victims are re-victimized through our words or actions Impact: victim feel re-abused - abuser gains power How 1. Disbelieving or denying: minimize the victim's experience or impact on her life. 2. Blaming the victim: 3. Criticizing: judge a victim for normal reactions to a traumatic event.
30 Are you being Slimed?
31 Low-Impact Debriefing Timely; Limited Disclosure (Mathieu, 2011) 1. Self-Awareness: What is most helpful to you in dealing with difficult stories? 2. Fair Warning: Being told that you re about to hear a traumatic story helps you be prepared 3. Consent: I could really use a debrief. Is this a good time? (Listener can decline or qualify - I have 10 minutes, will that work? ) 4. Low-Impact Debriefing: Start on the outer circle of the story. Then decide whether you need to tell the graphic details.
32 Organizational Changes (Mathieu, 2011) There is a lot that organizations and management can do to structure work roles and develop organizational cultures that help lessen vicarious trauma in their staff. Adequate Salaries and Time Off Sufficient Orientation, Professional Development Regular and Effective Supervision Procedures and Training in Place for Staff Safety Build Diversity and Job Enrichment into Work Access to Health Support Services Staff Relationships, Morale Supported Communication & Staff Contributions Encouraged
